She was naturally timid, unable to endure such scrutiny. She moved tremblingly towards the bedside with a hesitant greeting, "Hello, doctors!"
"Miss An, we are the doctors doing the rounds. Please sit down; there are some things we need to understand," the middle-aged male doctor standing in front spoke with a precise accent and a serious demeanor. To An Yin, his solemn face only increased her anxiety!
Before the male doctor could speak, she climbed onto the bed and sat up straight, her clear eyes fixed tightly on the doctor, her voice trembling a bit, "Doctor, am I seriously ill? Will I die?"
Since childhood, whenever An Yin saw a doctor in a white coat, she would feel a sense of fear.
At this moment, the stern face of the male doctor in front of her only made her think the worst.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s just routine questioning. Your test results came back last night, and there’s no major issue discovered for now. As for the concussion, let’s observe it a bit during the hospital stay, and we’ll do a follow-up in a few days. If everything’s fine, you can be discharged," the doctor calmly reassured the young girl. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Little did they know, just after An Yin asked, "Will I die?" the other doctors behind could barely suppress their laughter.
Patients nowadays, the moment they step into a hospital, even before doctors say anything, they immediately worry out loud, "Will I die?"
As doctors, they can only tirelessly and patiently explain this concern!
Next, the doctors inquired about her condition one by one, and An Yin answered truthfully.
Seeing that she was in good spirits, the doctors gave a few more instructions before leading everyone out of the ward.
After the ward door closed, the leading middle-aged male doctor glanced at Mr. Bao standing nearby for a moment.
Bao Shaojin stood tall with a few signs of fatigue showing between his brows.
The doctor stepped forward, "Mr. Bao, Miss An’s situation is good. She can be discharged after another two or three days of observation."
"Hmm." Bao Shaojin responded in a low voice, just giving a light acknowledgment.
The doctor couldn’t quite grasp his intention. Seeing him still standing there and not visiting the young girl in the ward, the doctor put away his curiosity, nodded to him, and then left the corridor with the other doctors.
Bao Shaojin had been standing outside the ward, and the words the young girl said earlier reached his ears through the slightly open door.
"Am I seriously ill? Will I die?"
The young girl was truly afraid of dying. Despite this fear, she always got hurt, never letting people have peace of mind! Bao Shaojin’s cold eyes instantly froze over.
Yesterday, he received a phone call from the old Madam Bao at 5:30 in the morning, which made him leave the ward.
He had predicted this call.
From the moment he took An Yin away from the birthday banquet, he knew the old madam would call. He just didn’t expect it to be so soon!
After hanging up the call, he arranged for a caretaker to look after An Yin.
As dawn broke, he headed straight to Bao Mansion.
Housekeeper Liu was waiting outside the study door. Upon seeing Bao Shaojin, he hurriedly approached with respect in his voice, "Eldest Young Master."
Bao Shaojin exuded a chilling aura. After a nod, he pushed open the study door and walked in.
Housekeeper Liu, standing outside the study, didn’t move a muscle, carefully listening for any movements inside.
After a long while, a muffled groan came from inside. Housekeeper Liu reached out his hand, wanting to push the door open, but his hand remained suspended in the air, unable to act. Finally, he gave up.
Half an hour later, Housekeeper Liu saw the Eldest Young Master walk out of the study with a stern face. Housekeeper Liu quickly opened his mouth, "Eldest Young Master, would you like to stay for breakfast?"
"No need," Bao Shaojin replied and then left briskly.
Housekeeper Liu looked at the tightly closed study door, hesitating before stepping forward to knock lightly.
"Come in!" a hoarse, feeble voice came.
Housekeeper Liu opened the door and, with his sharp eyes, noticed a cane lying on the floor. He carefully picked it up and placed it beside the old Madam Bao.
After entering, Housekeeper Liu did not speak.
In the solemn and serious study, the old Madam Bao sat on a grand armchair, wearing a blue traditional cheongsam. Her hair at the temples had long turned white. Her eyes fixed coldly on rows of bookshelves. Her complexion was rosy, showing that she had taken good care of herself over the years, with time leaving few marks on her face.
After a long while, she gently sighed out a sentence, "A-Jin said the young girl is A-Cheng’s girlfriend, and he has no interest in her. What do you think?"
Housekeeper Liu remained silent after listening.
He knew about the events at the Eldest Young Master’s birthday banquet last night.
"Zhenxing, now you often feign ignorance," the old Madam Bao glanced at Housekeeper Liu and let out a breath of relief.
Housekeeper Liu’s back turned slightly cold as he respectfully said, "You already have a plan in mind; my opinion is not important."
Housekeeper Liu, having been by the old Madam Bao’s side for many years, was perhaps the person who understood her best.
When the old Madam Bao began to ask for others’ opinions, it meant she had already made up her mind.
"Ah, you..." The old Madam Bao smoothed out her furrowed brows, "I never interfered with the girlfriends A-Cheng had in the past. They were all just for fun, and when he reached a certain age, he would naturally settle down. But this time, it’s worrisome!" Most importantly, it involves the grandson she was most proud of, so she couldn’t ignore it!
After leaving this meaningful remark, the old Madam Bao made no further comments.
Housekeeper Liu kept his head down, listening without daring to speak recklessly!
The tall figure at the ward door had disappeared. Bao Shaojin, having come from Bao Mansion to the hospital, hadn’t set foot in the ward.
An Yin didn’t know when he left, nor that he had been there in the morning.
At this moment, An Yin wasn’t in the mood to think about these matters.
She just wanted to move to a general ward.
When she finally gathered the courage to express her idea to the attending doctor’s office,
the doctor solemnly dismissed her idea, "Mr. Bao instructed that you must stay here. If you’re worried about the costs, there’s no need to be. Mr. Bao has already paid."
An Yin returned to the ward dejectedly, having no room to rebel against Bao Shaojin’s domineering and forceful arrangements.
After two days in the hospital, An Yin felt like every day was dragging by like a year!
Finally, on Sunday evening, An Yin insisted on being discharged to her attending doctor, as she still had classes to attend! The doctor looked at the stubborn young girl with a troubled expression, then made a phone call out of her hearing before agreeing to her request.
The doctor knew that the young girl’s follow-up results had come out in the afternoon. Nevertheless, with Mr. Bao’s prior instructions, he wanted to observe for one more day. But alas, the young girl was determined, constantly visiting his office all day long, really giving him a headache.
Fortunately, after consulting Mr. Bao, he also agreed for the young girl to be discharged.
A happy ending for everyone!
